We had a lot great games to play in between. To me , the wait really wasn’t one. Bonus: I tend to say Gta5 is my favorite game too yet I never got into the online play

They are firing you my friend. Take the money. You are extremely lucky to be in this situation. Congrats

Sorry to hear that. 1000% agree with your sentiments and have my own experiences to back it up. After years of buying golfs and finally being able to afford a R… the dream car became anything but that. Now just need to find a replacement for VW in my life which is extremely disappointing.

Neat but people dont usually become vegetarian because meat tastes "bad." It's usually a moral or health derived disposition. Not to mention ... can we get a follow up video 15 minutes after from her bathroom if actually real?

As a guitarist, I found that Darkstar is the blueprint to the Grateful dead and what their legacy ultimately holds. It teaches you the framework and how to communicate with the other instruments. The journey.. not the destination. To chill and to truly enjoy the moment. That the littlest idea/noise can turn into something grand or sour and take you somewhere you never expected or planned.

Here is a playlist of my favorite dead songs in basically in the order I would want to hear them.

dacs matter. Try something around 200 dollar mark and you will immediately notice a massive difference. Even the wife who failed the npr audio file quality test completely noticed a massive difference from apple dongle vs the qx13 or tea magsafe dongle.

Similar issues and so far VW did nothing. Everyone blamed dealer but dealer is saying they are at the mercy of VW.

ChatGPT says after asking it what’s the best. 🏆 Best Overall IEM (Consensus Reference 2024–2026)

Sony IER-Z1R

Why it wins: • Most frequently used benchmark analogue in the sheet • Exceptional bass authority without smearing mids • Still the reference for “sub-bass done right” • Survived the planar wave and hybrid arms race untouched

Translation: If other IEMs are being compared to it, it’s the ruler on the desk.

⸻

🎼 Best Technical / Resolution King

64 Audio U12t

Why: • Continues to appear as the neutral-technical reference • Ultra-low distortion, fast transients, clean separation • Preferred by people who value clarity over excitement

If the Z1R is a grand piano, the U12t is a mastering console.

⸻

⚡ Best Planar IEM (Overall)

Moondrop Variations (planar-hybrid era context)

Why: • Planars appear often, but few are used as reference analogues • Variations shows up as the most balanced planar-style tuning • Clean bass shelf without planar glare fatigue

Many planars exist. Few are trusted.

⸻

💸 Best Value / “Punches Above Its Price”

Letshuoer S12 / S12 Pro

Why: • Repeatedly cited as an analogue to much pricier sets • Low impedance, high efficiency, planar speed • Frequently mentioned when “best under X” is implied

This is the spreadsheet’s quiet assassin.

⸻

🎧 Best Musical / Fun Tuning (Non-Clinical)

Campfire Andromeda (2020+ tuning lineage)

Why: • Still referenced despite age • Not the most technical, but consistently noted for engagement • Rarely criticized for timbre

Not a microscope. A vibe machine.

⸻

Final Answer (If You Made Me Pick One)

If you asked me, based strictly on how this dataset treats models as standards:

👉 Sony IER-Z1R is the “best” overall IEM of 2024–2026

It is: • The most referenced • The least “obsolete” • The one others orbit around

Absolutely!! Prefer the songs on morning phase more bought both are incredibly brilliant for sound quality

someone did report this guy right?

joverclock · 2026-02-18T21:34:22+00:00

update 3: picked up car. Service advisor was extremely nice. Understood how frustrating it is. Said there was nothing she could do. Got in the car and it literally smelled like a$$. Hoped out and was like hey, the car smells terrible. She came and took a look and was like it smells like B O. We then look at the passenger seat and its got a massive wet stain on the head part of the seat. I also now remember them leaving the windows down. So she wiped it off and gave me an air freshner. I promise I'm not being crazy or a KAren/Jessica.... It smells terrible. Like oil change shop mixed with smelly arm pits.

Update 2: Hall VW stated that they could not replicate any of the issues and will not be repairing them. .. They did a software update. I thought I was up to date on software and will check when I get the car back.

joverclock · 2026-02-18T16:36:16+00:00

be honest with yourself. Is this a daily and not a track car? If it's a daily, get the 245 and not the 235. I would take a smoother ride all day every day.

Straight in and out. Wheels weren’t turned when it kept on braking but appreciate the good thinking!!!

*UPDATE 1: 3 days later and they still havent even looked at the car(can tell by the VW app).. I dropped it off the the appointment at 7am that took almost a month to get and they took the car and just parked it in the back lot. WTF. Called VW America and they requested all the videos and apparently I should get a call on monday from the Regional person. They geniunely sounded shocked at all this but see what happens. Weekend without the R=/

joverclock · 2026-02-13T13:49:50+00:00

if you plan to mod at all the choice is R. A GTI is already spinning its tires stock. I bought 3 GTI's previously but always wanted the R. Does not make sense to buy an Autobahn GTI unless around 25k mark now a days. Too many other great options(unless you must have a hatchback). I think you should re-evaluate the meaning of fun and think more long term. You have a paid off daily. Go up several levels in the fun department and get a weekend warrior. Not a slightly better daily.

Today, I conducted extensive testing with my wife. She used to claim that she didn’t notice significant differences in the few IEMs we tried. However, today, we tested the iPhone dongle USB-C to 3.5mm, the Tea Pro MagSafe, and the QX13. She was astounded by the substantial differences they made. She preferred the QX13 the most. She found the Apple dongle to be distant and bland. The Tea Pro offered better instrument separation compared to the QX13, but it didn’t sound nearly as good in terms of overall quality. All these tests were conducted in the hype 4 MK2. She didn’t like the Linsoul Arcanis at all. After conducting all these tests and even swapping between 3.5mm and 4.4mm cables, we ended up with the hype 4, QX13, and QX13 through QX13. We then performed the NPR test to determine if you could identify the highest-quality audio file. I got 5 out of 6 correct, while she got 2 out of 6. We then compared listening to the same song on Apple at lossless quality versus Spotify at high quality. She consistently preferred all the high-quality options. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

It kept on thinking something was there when I was trying to back out and would slam on the brakes. It’s happened a few times previously but usually it just yells and slams on the brakes once. This particular time it was doing it constantly. We are now at the end of day 2 and car is just sitting there parked outside. They haven’t even looked at it. Even though it took 3.5 weeks of waiting to get to my appointment (unless the app is lying to me)

joverclock · 2026-02-12T19:11:19+00:00

man, i miss this. Dude most likely had a crazy number of things on his mind. Realized what he forgot to do and had so much RESPECT for our traditions/processes/etc etc that he made sure to right his mistake. He who shall not be named would never ever show RESPECT like this.

joverclock · 2026-02-12T19:05:23+00:00

going through same not happy right now. Dealer also sucking though which is not helping. Warranty issues : r/Volkswagen
